Here in Ohio

Much of the upper Midwest is covered in snow today. Here in Ohio it is 51, but we'll soon get your wintry blast, but not the blizzard. About every 5-10 years we get a blizzard--although Iowa and Nebraska would laugh at it.

Also in Ohio yesterday the state put a murderer to death with a single injection. The official announcement on the radio sounded a bit like a weather reporter announcing a new gizmo.

I don't support the death penalty--why should we the people sink to the low of a common criminal? However, if I did, I would have chosen his method. Ken Biros got off and out much too easy, and he was convicted close to 20 years ago. After killing Tami Engstrom, he dismembered and mutilated her and scattered her body parts here and there in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

So instead of executing them we should provide them with full medical attention,housing, food, clothing, TV, mail and phone,exercise facilities and counseling for the rest of their lives huh? Plus practically unlimited opportunities to appeal their case. Boy that's some deterrent!

Don't for get the sex. Most rapes take place in prison.

So they have to endure some ugly situations. Gee, I mean, after all, they ARE in prison for murder and it's not like they were surprised that it might have it's unpleasant moments.
